Xi’an News Network News In 2020, the variety show “Sister Riding the Wind and the Waves” (hereinafter referred to as “Sister”) “went out”, the first episode of the broadcast hit hundreds of millions of views, and discussions on related topics basically dominated the hot searches on Weibo. More than a year later, Mango TV launched a variety show “Brother Broken Through” (hereinafter referred to as “Brother”), a variety show of the same origin. After the official launch on August 12, the single-day broadcast volume reached 140 million, even surpassing the single-day of “Sister”. 130 million views. But after the audience’s curiosity dissipated, “Brother” was commented by netizens that it would be difficult to reproduce the glory of “Sister”. So, can “Brother” still “out of the circle”?
“Brother” invited 33 male artists to pass 7 concerts, and finally selected 17 people to form an “almighty singing family”, while “Sister” selected 7 from 30 female artists to form a group. Compared with the “sisters”, the “brothers” have less competitive pressure. As a result, in the competition, the “sisters” had serious involutions, and only through harder and harder practice could they stay on the stage. The fierce competition and tense competition system made the show brilliant.
For the “brothers”, the competition system without even half of the elimination rate has greatly weakened the intensity of competition. Voices such as “zero hours of practice per day” and “no practice” are common. The “brothers” who lack intuitive ratings and cruel comments are showing their afterglow in their comfort zone, saying that they are “overcoming all obstacles” is a bit far-fetched. Some netizens describe that this kind of competition system is equivalent to lowering the points of admission for boys.
The theme of “Sister” is how female celebrities deal with age anxiety, middle-aged pressure, family status, motherhood and other sensitive female topics. Although experiencing age anxiety, the “sisters” are still a group of women with strength, pursuit and dreams. They face the age problem calmly, challenge themselves, show their individuality, break the stereotype of screen women, and create a kind of audience. Emotional resonance with “sisters”.
The big question that “Brother” faces is the rationality of the program-do “brothers” need a program to create a stage for them?
Whether in real life or in the entertainment industry, women do face more dilemmas. They are eager to change and break through. This is the reason why “sisters” go to the show to “ride the wind and waves”, and it is also the reason why the show can resonate with women off-screen. This is not to say that “brothers” have no difficulties or need to overcome difficulties, but that the difficulties of “brothers” are mostly the bottleneck of personal career development, not caused by systemic or mechanism factors. Therefore, “overcoming thorns and thorns” does not seem to match “riding the wind and breaking the waves”.
How do follow-up programs maintain “open and go high”, how to maintain the high concept of “overcoming obstacles” set from the beginning, and whether to continue to develop along the theme of nostalgia? This is the top priority for the production team.
Lin Zhixuan had a dispute with Zhao Wenzhuo because of the “air-conditioning” turmoil, and Lin Zhixuan also encountered criticism on the Internet. As a reality show, it will originally amplify the personality and let the audience understand the different aspects of each person, especially showing the real side of these stars is easy to produce topical effects.
In addition, from the point of view of program production, Mango TV strives to learn from the experience of the programs of friends, and goes all out to “de-oil”. Starting from the director group, it has been emphasized that “brothers” must not show the greasy side on the stage, so the program focuses on showing It is the true state of male stars of different age groups. Even the 50-year-old Huang Guanzhong, Xie Tianhua, Chen Xiaochun, etc. have no sense of fatigue or crotch, and the stage effect is well received by the audience. Chen Xiaochun’s humor, Zhao Wenzhuo’s cuteness, Yan Chengwook’s shyness, Lee Seung-hyun’s charm, etc., “Brother” did not follow the story line of “Sister” personal counterattack growth, but from the very beginning it created a full-blown and passionate professional group image.
